Data Notes
==========
The user should take great care when interrogating the data as it 
contains a number of inconsistencies. This is particularly so with 
regard to the relationship between the number of children and the 
birthplace of each child, and the number of lodgers and the birthplace 
of each lodger. [i.e. a family may have only three children, for 
example, but there may be an entry in the field "BPKID6"]. These 
inconsistencies are apparent in the deposited data. 

Coding may also be incomplete. The data was originally deposited on 
punch cards. In some instances it has been impossible to distinguish 
between uncoded and missing data-points, thus a number of variables may 
contain the symbol '---' for missing or null data points. Particular 
care should be taken with fields "BPLODG2", "BPLODG3", "BPLODG4", 
"BPLODG5" and "AGE1-AGE6".
